6.1 VLAN CONFIGURATION SUMMARY
Virtual LANs allow the network administrator to partition network traffic into logical groups and
control the flow of that traffic through the network. Once the traffic and, in effect, the users creating
the traffic, are assigned to a VLAN, then broadcast and multicast traffic is contained within the
VLAN and users can be allowed or denied access to any of the network’s resources. Also, some or
all of the ports on the device can be configured as GVRP ports, which enable frames received with
a particular VLAN ID and protocol to be transmitted on a limited number of ports. This keeps the
traffic associated with a particular VLAN and protocol isolated from the other parts of the network.
